2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Sept. 8, 1931 INVENTOILR ATTORNEY Patented Apr.12, 1932 UNITED STATES EARLE CHAPMAN miner, or LowELL, MASSACHUSETTS vHEEL siminnn' I Application filed September The invention relates to aheel trimming machine attachment and more especially to a heel stainer.V I

The primary object of the invention is the l? provision of an attachmentof this character wherein staining liquid can be conveyed to the bevelededge of the top lift of a heel of a womans shoe so that such edge can bestained simultaneously with the trimming 1 thereof, the attachment beingof novel form so as to follow and properly stain the top lift of theheel during the working of the trimming machine.

Another object of the invention is the pro vision of an attachment ofthis character 55 parts as will be hereinafter more fully described indetail, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which disclose thepreferred embodiment of theinvention, and pointed out in the claimshereunto appended.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevationof a shoe heeltrimming machine showing the attachment constructed in accordance withthe invention applied thereto. I

Figure 2 is an end elevation partly in section. r Figure 3 is ahorizontal sectional view. Figure 4 is a detail elevation of a stainingbrush assembly. 7 r 4 Figure 5 is an end elevation thereof.

Figure 6 is a bottom plan. Figure 7 is a side elevation. V Figure 8 is asectional view on the line 88 of Figure 7 v Similar reference charactersindicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in thedrawings.

Referring to the drawings in detail, A designates the head of a woodheel trimming machine which may be of any standard construction andequipped withthe usual-- toothed" trimming knife B, its journalbei'ngdriven inany suitablemanner preferablyby a belt (not shown). The knifeis covered by algu'ard C so that only the workingportion thereoflisexposed for action upon the top lift D of a heel E ofa shoe of thewomenStype.) I Adj ustably confronting the working portion of thewheelBis afaceplate F, the H latter-"being verticallydisposed and against whichthe top lift D rests when the knifeB is activethereon for the trimmingof such lift by the knife. i

-On the head right 10 carrying at its upperend a container 11 forliquid. staining and from the bottom of said'containe'r leads a feedtube; 12, the latter being connected with acurved brush stock13*c'arrying a brush tip .14, the latter beingfpreferably made fromrubber and is fastened in plaoe through themediuin of a set screw 15,the tip '14 being formed with ,of the machine is an'up r an applicator.tongue 16 ontowhich is del'ivered the'liquid staining from a feed passage'17, the latter. communicative through the port 18 with the stock 13and this tongue 16 plays against the trimmededge. 19. of the toplift Dof theheel E subsequent to the trimmingfthereof by thek nifdB so thatduringthe trimming operation" of said top lift'its trimmed edge 19 willbe stained in a manner as will be understandable from Figures 1, 2 and 3of the drawings.

The top lift D of the heel E is brought into position to rest againstthe face plate F,'

see Figure 1,.immediately beneath the knife B and the working of thiswheel causes the trimming of the top lift D when the latter is broughtinto the path thereof and this trimming is continued by the turning ofthe heel upon the face plateF. Simultaneously with this'op'eration theapplicator tongue 16 which carries liquid stainingwill apply iclhelatter to the trimmed top lift D of the eel. k

Immediately beneath the tongue 16 is'a' trap 20 for catching alldrippings and excess liquid staining during the operation of thebeveling and trimming machine.

' The stock 13 which forms the feed throat from the feed pipe 12 has itsflow regulated by a regulating valve 21 to control the feed of theliquid staining from the container 11 therefor. This container 11 has aremova- 5 ble cover or lid 22.

It is contemplated Within the scope of the present invention to employ apump attached to the trap, the pump being not shown so that thedrippings received by the trap can be forced back to the originalcontainer for the stainer.

What is claimed is 1. The combination With a heel trimming machinehaving a trimming knife, of an attachment comprising a container forliquid staining, a support for the container and carriedby the machine,means arranged in juxtapositionto the knife for delivering theliquidstaining to the-top lift of a heel When trimmed by the knife,means for delivering the liquidstaining from the container to said firstnamed means, means for regulating the How oftheliquid staining to thefirst named means, and a trap, located beneath said first 5 named meansfor catching, drippings of liquid. staining from said first named means;

-' 2. The combination with a heel trimming machine having atrimming'knife, of an attachment comprising a containerfor liquid 3staining, a support for the container and carried by the machine, meansarranged in juxtaposition tothe knife for delivering the liquidstainingtothe top lift of a heel When trimmed by the knife, means fordelivering v the liquid. staining, from the container to said firstnamed means, means for regulating the flow. of the liquid staining-tothe first named means, a trap located beneath said first named means forcatching drippings of, liquid staining from first named means, and aflexible applicator tongue associated with the first named means andengageable Withthe heel lift at its edge.
